Correct. I am using the stock firmware. I can only adjust the MTU size on the LAN side.
Should I change to the Merlin firmware? From what I see it is just a re-flash. Can I go back to the stock firmware just as easily?
sfx2000 might be on to something. I am away from home right now, so I can't try the MTU size suggestion. But I did hook up my ASUS at a friend's house and it works well. He's on a fiber connection. I plugged the AC88U into his router, to simulate a similar network-within-a-network setup I have...
Thanks for the idea. I tried it, but it did not solve the problem. I tried toggling those setting individually, and both at once. Neither option helped.
Love it! And I'll leave a printout of that PDF the AC88U is having trouble downloading, in case he ever encounters this same EXACT issue :).
Small update:
- I tried connecting the AC88U to a different port on the Huawei router. It did not solve the issue
- I tried using a different cable to...
Things I will try next:
- different cable between the ASUS and the Huawei. I don't think it's likely, but it's easy enough to try and put away that hypothesis.
- connect the ASUS router to a different LAN port on the Huawei. I just realized that there's still a chance it could be the Huawei LTE...
I dug out an old PC and tried the same wget test via ethernet. Same result as over wifi.
First I connected this PC via an ethernet cable directly to my Huawei router, and did
wget http://www.skoda-auto.pl/_doc/48472524-82b6-4cd0-a68c-2dd2179cd734
It worked as it should have. The file...
Just to make sure I was not going crazy, I changed my ASUS AC88U into AP mode. And now everything works well.
Except, that the AC88U is in AP mode. And I need it to be a router, and have its own network. <sigh>
Here's another file download that causes similar trouble for the ASUS AC88U:
wget https://desktop-release.notion-static.com/Notion-2.0.21-arm64.dmg
If I connect to my Huawei LTE router's Wifi directly, this download starts at about 800kb/s, and reliably continues like that until it finishes...
I will look to track down some other examples of servers that cause my ASUS AC88U trouble. Maybe I will be able to identify something common among them.
To start with, I unplugged my switch from port 8. I did not plug it back in for this test, to eliminate any potential interference from the wired network.
I updated the firmware, rebooted the router, and immediately ran my wget test. It worked as before -- downloading quickly one, and starting...
The router is using the ASUS firmware 3.0.0.4.384_20942-ge38bead
I have never reset it to factory settings. The router was having issues pretty much from the start, but just more recently I narrowed them down the the ASUS router itself, and was able to find a tiny reproducible test case using...
Do you mean using curl instead of wget?
The issue is not with the tool. The issue is tied to the location of the resource I am fetching. I get good performance with wget for some PDFs, and very poor for others. If I switch the Wifi network to bypass the ASUS router, the issue goes away.
I have an ASUS RT-AC88U WiFi router. It is connected upstream to a Huawei LTE router via an ethernet cable, which then connects me to the internet.
Things mostly work connected to the ASUS router via Wifi. I can access most sites without a problem. But some things don't work.
When I try to...
